In the mode of the newest unit is always better, I had been pretty much blindly switching my production from Tanks to Mech Infantry once I got Robotics. But recently, I've been giving it a little more thought (some might say too little
) and I've begun to rethink that. Here are some points to bring out some discussion. I'm really looking for comment from others.
Tanks can get City Raider. This is their biggest plus.
Tanks are Armor and thus vulnerable to Gunships, whereas MI are Gunpowder Units.
MI are Gunpowder Units so there are probably lots of enemy units around that have counter promotions.
Tanks have blitz, so can multi-attack.
MI have March, so heal on the run.
MI are stronger and get defensive bonuses.
MI can intercept aircraft.
